Mines coming fedex ground and suppose to be here friday. Though sadly i have class for 3 hours friday, and am worried i may miss signing for it. Does anyone know if they would reattempt delivery saturday or would i have to wait till monday? Or could i call them and have them hold it at the fedex location friday so i could pick it up when i'm out of class?
 
So I called UPS and apparently my MBP is in Canada and the tracking has not been updated.They said its being delivered tomorrow at 12 pending customs which is interesting since ups tracking tells me its in China and my estimated delivery date is the 20th.
 
Yeah, my status has been on the same place for 20 hours so I think FedEx may only update the tracking sites maybe once a day or something. I'm getting tired of tracking my macbook pro.lol.

haha me too! I don't think I've ever been this anxious for anything!
 
I posted earlier about being frustrated that my package was 40 minutes away from me then detoured to Memphis.... well check this out...

Apr 18, 2010 5:32 PM Arrived at FedEx location OAKLAND, CA
Apr 18, 2010 3:36 PM Departed FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Apr 18, 2010 11:47 AM Arrived at FedEx location MEMPHIS, TN
Apr 18, 2010 6:17 AM Departed FedEx location OAKLAND, CA
Apr 18, 2010 12:14 AM Arrived at FedEx location OAKLAND, CA
Apr 17, 2010 7:08 PM Departed FedEx location ANCHORAGE, AK

It's back in my state where it was earlier today!!! It's scheduled for Thursday delivery... who wants to bet its just going to ping pong back and forth between Memphis and Oakland...

Anyone seen anything like this before?
Well, mine has been on all of the same flights up until the last one (mine shows leaving Memphis at 3:23 and arriving back in Oakland at 7:07pm), so, sort of, yes... ;) If it gets here tomorrow or Tuesday, I'll be happy.
 
Mine has a delivery date of the 22nd but it's gone from China to Anchorage, to Memphis, to Indianapolis within the last 2 days... I'm at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN which is less than an hour and a half northwest of Indianapolis...

Has anyone experiences FedEx delivering much faster than their delivery estimate...? I can't imagine it would take them 2 days to get it from China to Indianapolis and now 3 more days to bring it an hour and a half drive north... I feel like the delivery trucks themselves probably drive that far.
 
I just called FedEx and they said it flew from Newark NJ to Syracuse NY. Odd because Newark and Syracuse are nearly the same distance from my location.

Looks like thanks to their odd way of flying packages, I won't get mine until Wednesday. :(
 
Mine just arrived in Anchorage, should be interesting to see what it goes from there since I'm in Vancouver.

Depending on where you actually live, you should be able to fill out the pre-signing sheet on Apple's website and direct the delivery guy to leave it under the care of someone else. I live in an apartment off campus and when I'm not home I leave the pre-signing slip on my door directing the guy to leave the package with my leasing office... if you're in a dorm then normally mail is signed and kept by the dorms anyways at most schools... and if you live in a house then you can have them leave it with a neighbor you're comfortable with.

Otherwise, skip class. It's worth it.:D

same boat as you (Calgary), I ordered Tuesday night, when did you order and
When did your status change to "shipped" (the origin scan).

edit: my log times are almost identical to yours
SHANGHAI, CN 17/04/2010 11:20 ORIGIN SCAN
CN 17/04/2010 3:16 BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

I wonder if my comp is floating around canada too...

I'm wondering the same thing. As of tonight my MBP is in my city already, but wasn't scheduled to be delivered until Thursday 4/22. I'm really hoping they will either deliver early or let me pick it up from their facility and not just sit on it for 3 days. Going to call Fedex tomorrow to find out.
 
I ordered the exact same machine as you on Tuesday night. Expedited shipping by UPS to Canada, but it's been in Shanghai since Friday. Hopefully things pick up for me tomorrow and I have it by Tuesday or Wednesday.

P.S. If you get yours before me, let me know what it's like! Top of the line specs and all ('cept SSD). This is my first mac and I went all out. I'm a little skeptical about the shear size and weight of the thing, but I figured the extra screen real estate and resolution would be worth it.

Will do, I am hoping I will get it Tomorrow, I will let you know my thoughts. If not tomorrow I dont see any reason why I wont have it by Tuesday!
 
I wish i could skip class, i have to administer a test and then take a test following that. And didn't order from apple so can't do that. Trying to find a house mate that isn't busy while i'm in class

i called the shipping company (TNT Express Australia) and they said that the plane was overfull so it got left behind...they still think it will make the original estimated delivery date of the 22nd though :):)

i hope so...but even so, thursday feels like a long time away....its only monday :(

i got that same message, are you in australia?? apparently the plane was overfull so our comps never actually left
 
In my guess....

I think there is a problem in FedEx tracking system or my tracking# because mine is still stuck in SHANGHAI and it shows that status is still cutoff.. WTF
It never moves from there...

Just talked to Fedex. Apparently the package is at the regional sorting facility but not the local delivery facility. She said that it was very likely that it would be at the local delivery facility (it's about 20 min away from the sorting facility) by the end of tomorrow, or Tues at the latest, and that I should be able to pick it up at that facility either tomorrow night or Tuesday.

I didn't get a clear answer about whether it was likely to be delivered to my house earlier than expected (Thurs), but I think I will be picking it up anyway.
 
I'm in the same position as you. Considering it is mid-day in China on a Monday I hoped the status would have changed but not yet... Hoping it will leave soon.

im on the same boat as you guys..i think the next update would be when the package gets to anchorage.. its like a 12hour flight
 
literally was in bed listen to my touch trying to go to sleep when i got an email that it shipped! It Left FedEx origin facility @ 10:07 AM hopefully it left with others :p
supposed to be here on Thursday... I have little faith in fed-ex :rolleyes:
I ordered on Wednesday night.
